Fundraiser for family of Michigan church gunman raises more than $275,000

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A fundraiser for the family members of the man who opened fire in an LDS church in Michigan and set it ablaze has raised over $275,000. The organizer says it’s an outpouring of forgiveness and love. Thomas Sanford drove his pickup truck into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel in Grand Blanc Township on Sunday, shot into the congregation and set the building on fire. The attack killed four people and police fatally shot Sanford. Dave Butler, a Utah resident and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says he wanted to do something for Sanford’s family.
